Abstract:
BACKGROUND:There is little attention focused on the effect of isokinetic testing about the variation of angular velocity on pain and muscle strength in the evaluation of curative effect of McConnel taping. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the changes of quadriceps muscle strength and perceived pain levels in patients with patelofemoral pain syndrome before and after corrective McConnel taping in isokinetic testing. METHODS:A total of 34 patients with patelofemoral pain syndrome were evaluated in isokinetic testing for concentric contraction muscular strength, including the maximum torque, the total work, and the average work in 60 (°)/s and 180 (°)/s angular velocity, before and after the interventions of McConnel taping. The visual analogue scale scores were recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The visual analogue scale scores were slightly decreased in angular velocity of 60 (°)/s after obturation when compared to before obturation (P > 0.05), while the scores were significantly decreased in angular velocity of 180 (°)/s (P < 0.05). The maximum torque, the total work, and the average work were slightly increased after obturation, but showed no significant difference in angular velocity of 60 (°)/s (P > 0.05), while significantly increased in 180 (°)/s angular velocity (P < 0.05). McConnel taping significantly improves the curative effect in patients with patelofemoral pain syndrome under low load joint movement.
